Cole and Macie cornering a varmint in the hummingbird garden (that's their favoritest game of all):

Macie crossing under the fence (to get to the other side, of course, in case you're wondering....cuz the grass is always greener over there ). She cannot be contained--she goes from basement yard to big yard to side yard at will, but thankfully has no interest in getting under the main fence to the Great Wilderness outside:

Belle and her brother Ember rough-housing in the big yard:

Nookie looks like the immovable object to Montana's irresistible force! Nookie doesn't budge even when Montana is practically standing on him! What a hoot! Poor Nookie's tail, though! Those two are just too funny together!

Cinnamon is such a beautiful girl. Who is she playing with in that pic?

That would be Carrot, who is pretty much unrelenting in his pursuit of wrestling partners. Cinnamon has resorted to bopping him on the head every time he walks by as a preemptive strike. Sometimes he recoils with a "what was THAT for?" look on his face, and sometimes he interprets the bop as an invitation for more wrestling, much to Cinnamon's chagrin.
